Lyrics
-
1. There was starlight on the hillside,
And one star bent very low
Till it passed above a stable
On that night so long ago.
-
2. There were shepherds on the hillside
On that night in Bethlehem.
Heav’nly hosts appeared, proclaiming
Joyous tidings unto them.
-
3. There was Jesus in the manger,
Born that night in Bethlehem.
And the shepherds left the hillside,
And they came to worship him.
